Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 2261 Feeling sad
Ahu disagreed and asked, "Why is the gap even bigger?"

"Isn't it bigger?" Cheng Tianyuan replied: "When we were young, every household was similar. Parents with strong skills could work in factories and receive wages. Parents with poor skills stayed in the countryside to do farm work. At that time, ordinary workers The salary is only a few dozen yuan, which is considered a good income. The difference between the families of high-income people and those with low incomes is at most 200 yuan. In rural areas at that time, as long as the family could have a few dozen yuan in savings, Even if it’s a rich family.”

Several juniors were stunned!
"Isn't that right? Dad, a few dozen yuan counts as a rich person?"

"The concept of a rich person - it's just a few dozen dollars?! Now even if you have hundreds of thousands, people won't think you are a rich person!"

"Is it really a few decades ago?! How come it feels like the last century! No - the last century!"

Cheng Tianyuan nodded: "That's true. At that time, the gap between wealthy families and less wealthy families was only more than 100 yuan, or even dozens of yuan. At that time, people in rural areas who owned a bicycle were considered rich."

"Yes, yes!" Ahu was very excited and laughed: "I saved for many years before I could afford my first bicycle! I had an employer at that time, and I was getting a salary of over thirty a month at the beginning! "

"Uncle Huber, how much does a bicycle cost?" Xue Xin asked curiously.

Ahu blurted out: "If you have a bicycle ticket, it costs more than 100 per bike. By our time, we no longer need tickets, but a bike costs more than [-]."

"Isn't it?" Xue Xin asked funnyly: "Your salary is in the mid-[-]s - how many years do you still have to save? Isn't it enough to buy it in a few months?"

"Silly girl!" Ahu laughed: "Do you think that you can earn money after graduation, and your parents will continue to support you until you can truly be independent? What a wonderful idea! I need to eat for one month's salary, so buy it for my mother. For medicine, clothes, food and drinks, it’s pretty good to have a few dollars left over in a month. Anyway, I remember that I had to save for a long time before I could afford that bicycle. Later, the bicycle was sold to your mother."

"Really?" Cheng Huanchong asked funnyly: "Uncle Hu, why are you willing to sell it?"

Ahu said "Alas!" and replied: "My mother fell ill. She sold everything she could sell at home, and she still needed medical expenses. At that time, most people didn't have much money on hand at all, and they could pay more than 100 in one breath. The money came out - not many people! Fortunately, Amin knew Ayuan and said that he happened to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law from a big city. She had found a good job and should have money around her. We looked for her overnight! Yes! Your parents and I met that day! Hahaha!"

Everyone sighed and sighed, and Wang Qing couldn't help but turn red.

Ahu shook his head and gave up: "Don't mention it! It was really hard at that time! It was so hard! There was no chance to make money at that time, really none!"

"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan said helplessly: "Working as a worker in a factory and receiving a fixed salary is the envy of everyone with an employer. It means a worry-free life."

Xue Zhilan couldn't help but nod: "At that time, comrade workers had a high status, and all workers with fixed units were highly respected. Unlike today's workers... they feel that they have no status and are looked down upon. At that time, we had workers with special skills. Everyone has to be respectful and call them 'master'. Nowadays people just casually say 'a stinky part-time job', which is really unbelievable!"

Dad Xue on the side said: "Isn't it? It's only been a few decades, how did it become like this? When we were young, workers were the most glorious. When I was a technician, everyone would shout "" 'Master'. If it were done now, people would immediately say, 'You stinky part-timer!', and I wouldn't know where to put it."

Mother Xue hummed: "Where can you put it? Can your old face fall to the ground? Why don't you hang it on your face? People can look at it however they want. Let's live our own lives. Besides, you Later, he didn’t become a worker and started his own business, right?”

"That's true." Xue's father chuckled: "The social conditions have improved since then! Private individuals can set up factories. Factories don't have to be all public and state-owned. Private companies can set up factories."

"Alas!" Ahu frowned: "Big cities are different. There are many more opportunities than there! There are not many factories in Rongcheng, and there are very few state-owned and private companies! There are really no opportunities to make money!"

Xue Ling nodded: "The environment at that time was not as good as now, and life was indeed very difficult. Although young people today are more stressed, the social environment is good and there are indeed more opportunities."

"But there are a lot of talented people!" Cheng Huanchong said with a smile: "At that time, if there was only one college student in a village, it was a hot commodity. Now if a brick is dropped, a lot of highly educated talents can be smashed! There are so many opportunities. Yes, but there are also many people competing with us!" Lin Qingzhi nodded in agreement: "That's true. With more opportunities, the pressure will be correspondingly greater."

"The general environment has gotten better, and it is still good after all." Cheng Tianyuan concluded: "You may be under more pressure, and you are suffering from psychological pain and pressure. At that time, we had responsibilities to shoulder, but our stomachs were not full. I work during the day and find a part-time job at night, and I have to worry about not making a dollar or two, which puts a double pressure on my body and mind."

"That's right! The general environment is good, and it's good for most people."

"Isn't that right! At least now we have good food, drink, and housing, and we are living a good life that the older generation could never imagine."

"That's right! I had a dream before, but I never dreamed that it would be as good as it is now!"

"Hahaha!"

At this time, Kang An came late holding little Cheng Zhe, and Cheng Huanran was busy picking up vegetables and spoons for her staple food.

Xue Xin looked at the cute little baby and immediately threw away her chopsticks to hug her - but was stopped by Chen Xinzhi.

"Why?" Xue Xin pouted: "I haven't hugged little Zhezhe yet!"

Chen Xinzhi explained with a smile: "Pregnant women cannot hold their children. Some people are taboo about this."

"I'm not afraid." Kang An shook his head: "Our family doesn't have those taboos. When I was pregnant with Xiaozhe, I hugged Xiaozhu and the others every day."

"That's right!"

Xue Xin laughed and went to her nephew.

"Don't be afraid, he's still so young and can't kick me!"

Kang An handed his son to Xue Xin and said warmly: "Although he is small, his hands are quite strong."

Xue Xin's heart suddenly melted when she looked at the cute little guy with a tender pink face.

"So cute! He looks like a big brother!"

Cheng Huanran narrowed his eyes with a smile and said, "People say that the first child is more likely to look like his father, and only the second child will look like his mother."

"In most cases, yes." Xue Ling shook his head: "But some are not. Our second child is nothing like me - like himself."

Everyone laughed.
